September 5, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Verio Inc. (verio.com), a subsidiary of
r
NTT Communications Corp. (ntt.com) and a leading provider of global IP services, announced that its
r
Virtual Private Server, based on the Sun’s Solaris
r
Operating Environment, will accept interactive Web
r
sites and other Web-based business applications driven
r
by Sun Chili!Soft ASP.
r
r
Sun Chili!Soft ASP allows Web developers to build and
r
deploy dynamic Internet applications, using active
r
server pages, across many different computing
r
platforms. Verio is one of the world’s largest
r
Web-hosting companies and the only company to offer
r
the Solaris OE-based VPS.
r
r
Previously, ASP technology was deployed exclusively on
r
Windows-based systems. With Sun, Verio’s customers can
r
develop active server page applications for the
r
Solaris O E, providing them the scalability and
r
reliability of the Solaris platform and the
r
flexibility of ASP.
r
r
ASP makes it much quicker and easier to create
r
interactive Web sites, and allows users to easily
r
maintain and update their Web pages. It has become a
r
powerful model for connecting databases to the Web and
r
it combines scripting, HTML, custom-server components
r
and database publishing.
r
r
Further, with ASP, the design elements of a Web page
r
can be separated from the details of programming
r
access to databases and applications. This benefit
r
increases productivity by freeing programmers to write
r
code and allowing designers the time to concentrate
r
solely on the creative aspect of the Web site.
r
r
“Only Verio has the ability to run dedicated Chili!
r
Soft ASPs in a unique shared-hardware environment,”
r
said Laura Zung, vice president of product management
r
for Verio. “This gives customers the freedom and
r
flexibility of ASP, the power of the Sun Solaris
r
platform, and the affordability of a VPS.”
r
r
r
Chili!Soft targets business customers that outgrow
r
their initial Internet server structures and seek to
r
change and expand their platform choices. It also
r
serves Internet service providers who host Web sites
r
and applications built using ASPs. These customers
r
favor Chili!Soft because it supports ASP applications
r
that operate on multiple Web servers and operating
r
systems.
r
r
“The ASP community has grown to include nearly a
r
million Web developers,” said John Shell, senior
r
product manager at Sun. “Verio’s innovative
r
implementation provides these developers with a
r
secure, private, and scalable hosting environment.”
r
r
Verio VPS offers the functionality of a dedicated
r
server at a price comparable to most shared-server
r
environments. Using the Solaris Operating Environment,
r
Verio VPS combines its advantages with the stability
r
and high-performance levels of Solaris to deliver an
r
affordable solution.
